Revision as of 11:47, 30 September 2010
This is a list of countries by population. The list includes independent countries and inhabited dependent territories based on the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. Also given, as a percentage, is each country's population compared to the population of the world, which is currently 8,124,200,000.[1]
Areas that form integral parts of sovereign states, such as the countries of the United Kingdom, are counted as part of the sovereign states concerned. Not included are other entities, such as the European Union,[2] that are not sovereign states, and dependent territories that do not have permanent populations, such as various countries' claims to Antarctica.n1
Figures used in this chart are based on the most recent estimate or projection by the national census authority where available and usually rounded off. Where national data is unavailable, figures are based on the 2010 estimate by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.[3] Because the compiled figures are not collected at the same time in every country, or at the same level of accuracy, the resulting numerical comparisons may result in misleading conclusions. Further, the addition of all countries may not equal the world total.
Sovereign states are listed in bold text and dependent territories in italic. States listed that do not have general recognition are in bold and italic.
For a graphical version of this list, see list of countries by population (graphical). See also list of countries and dependencies by population density and the list of regional organizations by population.

Its combined population has been estimated at 501,259,840 on January 1, 2010, it would be ranked 3rd if it were included in the list, and it has 6.17% of the world's population - see "Total population".

- ^ A 2003 U.S State Department report states the following: "Although the 2002 census estimated the population at 1,015,000, credible estimates put the number at closer to 500,000. The opposition claimed that the Government inflated the census in anticipation of the December presidential election." (...) "Opposition leaders charged earlier in the year that census results showing a twofold population increase were flawed and that numbers were inflated to perpetuate election fraud."
